Beyond BRICs Investment Case
Fund Literature
Fund Objective

Seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the FTSE Beyond BRICs Index.

Index Description

The FTSE Beyond BRICs Index is a market capitalization-weighted index designed to represent the performance of a diversified basket of 90 liquid companies in emerging and frontier markets excluding Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC), Taiwan and Argentina as defined by FTSE's Country Classification System. The index has 75% exposure to emerging markets and 25% to frontier markets at rebalance.

Reasons To Invest
  • Targeted exposure to Beyond BRIC countries: This fund provides integrated emerging and frontier markets exposure outside of Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRICs). As a result, it may serve as a strategic, long-term holding for a developing markets allocation.
  • Well-positioned for possible future growth: Beyond BRIC countries are becoming a more important force in the global economy, with a higher labor force growth rate than the BRICs and developed markets (Source: UNCTAD 2015)
  • Portfolio diversification potential: The smaller Beyond BRIC countries have been less tied to U.S. stock performance than the BRICs (Source: MSCI, Bloomberg as of 12/31/2015), giving Beyond BRIC countries strong diversification potential within a larger portfolio. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted. For the most current month-end performance data please call + 1 888 800 4347.

Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 pm ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.

Performance results shown reflect the expense reimbursement, without which the results would have been lower.

Returns over one year are annualized.

Emerging market investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, from economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. This fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is so concentrated and to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory guidance. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. Small cap and mid cap companies generally will have greater volatility in price than the stocks of large companies due to limited product lines or resources or a dependency upon a particular market niche.
